Aside from training in the Eight Gates and Hatake style kenjutsu, Shin also made progress in ninjutsu.
After a short rest, Shin used the trees in the forest as imaginary enemies. A glint flashed in his eyes, and his entire body suddenly swayed, first appearing on the east side of a tree.
Swoosh!!
The Chakra Blade White Fang slashed across, leaving a white arc.
A tree trunk nearly as wide as an embrace was cut in half, falling down with a rustle.
Whoosh!
Shin flashed again, his figure disappearing. When he reappeared, he was already behind a tree, his right hand holding nothing, but a strong chakra fluctuation gathered in his palm.
"Rasengan!"
After a long period of training, he had finally mastered the Rasengan, and in the time-accelerated state, it could be condensed almost instantly.
Boom!!
The Rasengan pressed against the middle of the tree trunk, erupting with a roar. The entire middle of the trunk instantly caved in, exploding under the chakra's pulverization, and a large area disappeared.
After blasting a tree, Shin's figure flickered, returning to the back of the first tree. With his left hand, he formed a single hand seal, and his right hand held the Chakra Blade White Fang. In an instant, lightning arcs permeated the White Light, crackling and intertwining.
"Lightning Style... Lightning Slash!"
This was a self-created ninjutsu.
It involved attaching a layer of lightning to the chakra flow to further enhance the sharpness and speed of the attack, and it was currently Shin's strongest attack.
Swoosh!!
When this sword was swung, a seemingly tangible arc of light appeared, extending nearly three feet, gradually dimming from near to far. With a single slash, it split the entire tree stump in half from the center, even carving a deep gully in the ground!
After completing this set of attacks, Shin stopped his movements.
He breathed slightly.
The chakra consumption of the Rasengan goes without saying, and the Lightning Slash, combined with Hatake style kenjutsu, instantly consumed an enormous amount of chakra. In his current state, combining Hatake style kenjutsu with chakra flow, he could only use Lightning Slash once.
"Lightning Slash" was the name Shin gave to this Lightning Release ninjutsu he created. This ninjutsu was actually a semi-finished 'Chidori', and Shin himself was developing it towards the Chidori.
Chidori is an A-rank ninjutsu, while Lightning Slash is at most B-rank.
"With time acceleration, Lightning Slash speed, Eight Gates, and Hatake style kenjutsu stacked, this attack could instantly kill even a Jonin if they're not careful..."
Shin muttered to himself, looking at the destruction caused by his attack.
Although the attack range of this jutsu was not large, not even reaching mid-range, if truly unleashed at close range, its speed would be extremely difficult to block or evade.
If he could develop a higher-level Chidori, its speed would be even faster, and its power even greater!
And besides ninjutsu and taijutsu,
The illusory clock in Shin's mind also underwent a change!
This change did not alter the time acceleration multiplier, but rather the entire illusory clock took on a different form.
Closing his eyes,
He could see that the color of the illusory clock was different from before; it had gone from illusory to having a hint of substance, appearing in a pale gold color, and the position of the clock's hand had changed, moving from 1 o'clock to a position closer to 2 o'clock!
He could vaguely see that the number 2 on the coordinate seemed to be shrouded in a layer of illusory mist, which would become clear when the clock hand pointed to it.
Shin knew what this meant.
The clock pointing to 1 o'clock meant that his time acceleration ability had been activated. For nearly two years since then, the clock's hand had not moved, but after reaching three times acceleration, the clock's hand finally began to move again!
If nothing unexpected happened, when the hand pointed to 2 o'clock, the mist there would disappear, and he would gain a second time ability!
"I wonder what ability it will be... Time deceleration, time reversal, or—time stop?!"
Shin was very excited.
Time-based abilities are all extremely powerful, especially time stop. In a world like Naruto, where most people's defenses are very low, having time stop would almost allow one to rampage freely throughout the ninja world!
Unless it was a monster with abnormal defense like the Third Raikage, or an immortal body at the Six Paths level, otherwise, even the Third Hokage Hiruzen could be ended with a small kunai!
Looking at the movement speed of the pointer, it should still take some time before he gets a new ability. During this period, he still needs to continue training in other aspects normally and cannot slack off.
"The focus of my training will still be on the development of Chidori, the Eight Gates, and Hatake style kenjutsu... These three areas can still be further improved."
After examining his recent training results, Shin also clarified his subsequent training path, maintaining the previous route unchanged.
The Eight Gates go without saying.
Hatake style kenjutsu is also essential. At least until he surpasses the Kage level, Hatake style kenjutsu can exert great power in battle and is very compatible with him.
As for the importance of Chidori, it is also the same. After all, developing Chidori not only brings improvements in attack power but also in physical speed!
In the original work, Sasuke only trained Chidori for one month, and his speed was already close to Rock Lee without his weights. Therefore, Lightning Release ninjutsu has always been Shin's main offensive direction.
Actually, compared to Chidori,
Shin wanted to obtain the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
However, that jutsu was a secret jutsu passed down through generations of Raikage in Hidden Cloud Village. It was probably not even recorded in Hidden Leaf's Forbidden Scroll. At present, he could only think about it and could not get his hands on it.
In short, what Shin pursued was extreme speed—fast, faster, fastest!
When speed reaches its extreme, there is no enemy that cannot be instantly killed. If there is... it means you can't beat them, and you can run away.
"Time to go back."
Shin tidied his pockets.
All the dry rations he brought out had been eaten. When he went out to train now, he usually brought two meals' worth of dry rations and bento. Each training session lasted about twelve hours, but due to being in a time-accelerated state, only about four hours passed in the outside world.
Currently, he only trained in the back mountain during the day. In the evenings, he would only do basic exercises like weighted push-ups and squats in his own small courtyard.
Just as Shin returned to the village and was nearing his home, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
"The Hokage-sama has summoned you."
Blocking his path was a masked Anbu ninja, who spoke in a deep voice to Shin, then his figure flickered, disappearing as mysteriously as he appeared.
The Hokage wants to see me?
Shin was slightly startled. In his recent memory, he shouldn't have done anything that would warrant Hiruzen summoning him.
However, since it was a summons from the Hokage, not going was clearly impossible. After taking a turn, Shin walked towards the Hokage's office building and soon arrived at the entrance of the Hokage's office.
As soon as he entered the office,
Shin immediately felt that the atmosphere inside the Hokage's office was completely different from his last visit, appearing somewhat tense and oppressive.
Furthermore, on a chair beside the desk, sat a man leaning on a cane, who, simply by sitting there, exuded a dark aura.
Danzo!
"..."
Shin was unaware of Danzo's movements, but he hadn't been bothered by Danzo in the past two months. He hadn't expected to meet him in person on this trip to the Hokage's office, which made his heart tighten slightly. Surely, he wouldn't be handed over to Danzo for 'training' by Hiruzen, would he?
In an instant, Shin thought of many things, including how to deal with the situation if he was truly assigned to the Root.
And just as Shin's mind raced, Hiruzen spoke in a deep voice.
"Shin, you've arrived."
"Hokage-sama."
Shin bowed to Hiruzen and said, "Is there something you need me for?"
Hiruzen held his pipe, but did not smoke. Instead, he looked at Shin seriously and said,
"...How has your training been recently?"
Hearing Hiruzen's question, Shin's brow subtly furrowed, and he cast an almost imperceptible glance at Danzo, who was sitting not far away.
Could it be that he really wants me to join Danzo's Root?
This kind of development is too hard to accept!
Thinking of this, Shin presented himself to Hiruzen as a confident genius and said,
"I've made some progress in my training; I've developed a B-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu."
"Oh?"
Hiruzen was surprised.
A B-rank ninjutsu can be considered the pinnacle among ordinary ninjutsu. Above that, A-rank ninjutsu falls into the category of forbidden jutsus, and S-rank is even called ultimate jutsus.
Even Jonin don't master many B-rank ninjutsu, and Shin, at this age, was able to develop a B-rank ninjutsu. Such talent can only be described as astonishing!
